Upgrading the Firmware

This procedure will describe how to upgrade the firmware on your Wireless N DSL

Modem Router. Before you start, make sure the Modem Router is connected via Ethernet

cable to the computer you are using to download the new firmware. If you try to install

the firmware over a wireless connection, the firmware may become corrupted, damaging

the Modem Router.

1. To download a new version of the Modem Router’s firmware, go to the Actiontec

website (www.actiontec.com) and navigate to the support page for the Modem

Router to download the latest firmware.

2. When the firmware download begins, click Save.

3. When deciding where the file will be saved, select a familiar location, like My

Documents or the Desktop. This way, when the download has finished, the file(s)

will be easy to find. The firmware download will appear as an .IMG, or image file,

which will be loaded on the Modem Router via its web interface.

4. With the Modem Router powered up and the computer connected to it via

Ethernet cable, stop all other network activity and open a web browser on

the computer.

5. Type 192.168.0.1 in the Address bar of the browser, then press the Enter key on

the keyboard.

6. In the screen that appears, select Log into my device.

7. Another screen appears. From the row of icons at the top, select Utilities.

8. In the next screen, from the menu on the left, select Upgrade Firmware.

9. The Upgrade Firmware screen appears. Click Browse.
